Are there any children/beginner books in Japanese that can be used to practice (that are also online)?

  • Graded Readers level 0-1 is great starting point. Some stories are a little bit boring but at least it’s easy to understand.

  • Japanese Short Stories for Beginners by Lingo Mastery. Available in kindle. 20 short stories with english translation.

  • If you don’t mind using dictionary and looking up words often, you can jump straight into manga. Choose whatever manga in absolute beginner list from Master List of Book Clubs.
